THE MAKING OF BELIEVING IN LOVE - Ben Jones: Bass Guitar

Ben Jones is one of Portland’s best bass players. Not only is his pocket unmatched (that’s musician lingo for how well he keeps the rhythm going), but his fluid ability to make his bass sing and dance is out of this world. He knows no boundary when it comes to his instrument. His knowledge of music, his humility, and the passion he brings really set the foundation for the tone of Believing In Love. We spent two days together at London Bridge Studio in Seattle, and as Ben called it, “it was a spiritual experience.” Ben worked in tandem with drummer Brian Foxworth, as if they had the same mind. My favorite part of working with Ben was watching him come into the control room between songs, talk through a few changes, and then he would hop back out into the room and nail each song in one take. Cheers to you Ben for bringing the silky foundation to this record! #BelievingInLove
